How it Works - Day of Event
- Helicopter will fly to and land on the golf course property to pick up the golf balls. Above Par Promotions arranges permission from the course for flight path and location of golf ball drop.
- The numbered golf balls will be in separate bags for ease of transport and bagged appropriately for the number of tickets sold.
- Helicopter will take off, buzz around the course, then hover over the predetermined drop site. Golf Balls will be dropped at the designated target. The golf ball that lands in the cup or closest to the pin is the winner. Event management should consider options for multiple winners.
- Golf balls in target area will be reclaimed by tournament volunteers and left with the course for disposition to Above Par Promotions.
- In the event of inclement weather, a reschedule for the drop will be provided based on coordination and availability with the course. There is no cancellation option once the helicopter is booked.
- A wait time fee of $75/hour will apply if the helicopter is made to wait while at the course.
